Decorative lighting system with improved support framework assembly
11578846 · 2023-02-14 · ·

An improved decorative lighting system constructed having a support framework assembly for mounting decorative lights in connection with a window frame. The support framework assembly comprises a plurality of tubular track members, each formed having a slotted chamber section extending the length of the track member with a squared outer edge formed along either side at the base of the chamber to provide a substantially flat planar surface along the base of the track member. A plurality of articulating end clips are formed to engage each track member and interconnect with another to join the track members in a substantially rectangular configuration adjustable to conform to the shape of the window frame. A plurality of specially configured light mounting clips are formed to press-fit and slide along the flat perimeter surface of the track members and hold the decorative lights in selected positions along the track members. Ring members included upon selected ones of the articulating end clips are used and positioned in upper corners of the framework assembly to engage conventional hooks or tabs secured to the window frame and facilitate the mounting of the framework assembly and its removal and storage when desired. The articulating end clips further allow the complete support framework assembly to fold and store more easily.

LIGHT STRING STRUCTURE

A light string structure includes a clip and a light source assembly. The clip is connected to the light source assembly, and a plurality of the light source assemblies are provided. Each light source assembly includes a light cover. The clip is arranged on a bottom portion or a side surface of the light cover. The clip and the light cover are integrally connected. The clip is elastic. The clip includes a clipping portion and inclined portions. An end of the clipping portion and the light cover are integrally connected. The clipping portion protrudes outwards and bends to form an arch-shaped concave portion. The inclined portions are respectively disposed at the end portions of the clipping portion and are integrally connected to the clipping portion. The inclined portions are respectively arranged inclined in directions opposite to bending directions of the clipping portion.

Distributable dimmer package having a six-circuit output connector and re-configurable power input
11592167 · 2023-02-28 ·

An improved dimming apparatus is disclosed. Major economies are achieved by the ability to distribute groups of dimmers in proximity to the lamp loads that they control. Variations in the location and distance between the apparatus and lamp loads, as well as in the differing connector types installed on such loads, are addressed by terminating the six power stages contained in a common enclosure in a six-circuit multi-pole connector, such that a variety of prior art “break-out” adaptors between said multi-pole connector and individual circuit connectors can be selected among. The power input to the enclosure can be made re-configurable.

Frame with clip and locking wire

A frame having a clip for securing the frame to an article of clothing or other object. The frame includes a mount for receiving a removable module and a rotatably attached clip. The clip includes an opening for accommodating sewing ribs between portions of a webbing and a gate (which may be a locking wire) moveable between an open position and a closed position at one end of the opening. In the open position, the locking wire removably engages one of a pair of elongated members defining the opening, e.g., by removably engaging that elongated member at a recess in an outside edge thereof, and does not obstruct the opening. When in the closed position, the locking wire removably engages the other of the elongated members, for example by removably engaging that other elongated member at a recess in its outside edge, and obstructs the longitudinal opening.
